 [$] Replacing openSUSE Leap

https://get.opensuse.org/leap/15.5/
 is a hybrid
distribution; it is based on SUSE's enterprise distribution (SLE), which
follows the "slow and stable" approach, but adds a number of newer packages
on top.  Leap is intended to be a desktop-oriented distribution with a stable
and reliable base.  As SUSE transitions away from its traditional
enterprise distribution toward its <a href="https://susealp.io/" rel="nofollow">"Adaptable
Linux Platform" (ALP)</a>, though, the stable base upon which openSUSE Leap
is built is going away.  The openSUSE community is currently discussing how
the project should respond.
